2023: Speculation over RCCG political block an attempt to split Christians, says Akinnola
Meanwhile, Nigerian journalist, author, lawyer, and activist, Richard Akinnola, believes the criticism of the RCCG over plans to set up a political unit is just a mischievous move by political actors to split the body of Christ.
Akinnola, a former editor of the Vanguard newspaper and executive director of the Centre for Free Speech Organisation, barred his mind in a post on social media which elicited similar reactions from other persons on the platform, many urging the church to carry on with its decision.
He said:
“I believe this red herring in respect of this move by the RCCG is just a mischievous move by a political camp to cause division within the body of Christ.
Pastor Adeboye speaks on 2023 election
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has disclosed that he is yet to hear from God about the 2023 elections.
The 80-year-old cleric was said to have told his congregants that he doesn’t know whether there will be an election in 2023 yet.
Speaking on Sunday, April 3, at the monthly Thanksgiving Service of the Church, the man of God said the case was different during the last elections. According to him, God spoke to him more than a year before the 2019 elections but that of 2023 seems to be different.
